Paul Posluszny will miss the rest of the season for the Jacksonville Jaguars with a torn pectoral muscle.

Posluszny is the Jaguars' leading tackler (69) and best defensive player, he's also responsible for making the defensive calls and is one of the team's leaders.

"It's tough because he is talented and he is a captain of our team and a leader," coach Gus Bradley said Monday afternoon. "To downplay that part of it wouldn't be fair to him. Important part, but I do believe that we'll have guys step up and move on."

Posluszny is in his fourth season with the Jaguars and eighth overall.
